ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and effectiveness of Commando procedure for mechanical valve dysfunction requiring reoperation. Methods The clinical data of patients who received Commando surgery (aortic/mitral curtain enlargement+valve replacement surgery) in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Gaozhou People's Hospital from December 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients who had undergone mechanical mitral or aortic valve replacement and then had mechanical valve dysfunction with mitral or aortic valve lesions requiring repeat combined valve replacement surgery were selected. Results Eleven patients were enrolled, including 2 males and 9 females, aged 63.63±11.64 years. All 11 patients successfully underwent the Commando operation, and were implanted with suitable artificial valves, among which the aortic valve size was 27.00±2.00 mm, and the mitral valve size was 27.72±3.13 mm. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 195.81±39.29 min, aortic cross-clamping time was 121.81±28.60 min, mechanical ventilation time was 15.09±3.72 h, ICU stay time was 3.09±0.70 days, and total postoperative thoracic drainage volume was 417.18±68.65 mL. There was no perioperative death. ConclusionCommando procedure is a safe and effective method to perform combined valve operation for mechanical valve dysfunction. A larger artificial valve can be implanted during the procedure to obtain sound hemodynamic effects. In addition, for elderly patients, a suitable type of bioprosthetic valve can be implanted to improve the patient's quality of life. The early surgical effect is satisfactory, and the long-term impact needs further follow-up.
The present study was to examine the effect of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on bilateral regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and postoperative cognitive function. Eighty patients undergoing selective coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly and equally divided into two groups. The patients in group S were given right SGB with ropivacaine, while the patients in group C were injected with normal saline. We compared the bilateral rSO2 after SGB. Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), Visual Verbal Learning Test (VVLT), and Digital Span Test (DST) were applied to observe the effect on cognitive function. We found that the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) 7 days after surgery in group S was lower than that in group C. The level of blocked side rSO2 of S group were significantly higher before CPB time of rewarming than that before SGB (P＜0.05), much higher than corresponding non-blocked side rSO2 before CPB (P＜0.05), and much higher than rSO2 level in group C before CPB and after CPB(P＜0.05). The non-blocked side rSO2 in group S before anesthesia were much lower than basic levels and those in group C (P＜0.05). It could be concluded from the above results that there was significant increase in the blocked-side rSO2 compared to the non-blocked side and there was significant decrease in the incidence of POCD compared to the control group after SGB.
Objective Chronic graft dysfunction (CGD) has become the major factor that influences the long-term survival of grafts. It is unclear whether the different incidence of CGD has organ specificity. Methods We collected the graft survival rates (GSRs) of solid organ transplantations from the OPTN/SRTR (organ procurement and transplantation network/ scientific registry of transplant recipient). The solid organ transplantations were classified according to the cluster analyses of GSRs during two time periods. We defined the standard of lower survival rate and compared it to the 3-month GSRs (3mGSRs), 1-year GSRs (1y GSRs), 3y GSRs, and 5y GSRs of various solid organ transplantations. Results Deceased donor ECD kidney (DD-ECDK), pancreas transplantation alone (PTA), pancreas after kidney transplantation (PAK), Intestine (In), deceased donor lung (DD-Lu), and heart-lung (H-Lu) were classified into a category which was associated with lower graft survival rates based on the variables of GSRs during the time periods of 1991-1995 and 1996-2000. Compared with those of DD-ECDK, the lowest in the three types of kidney transplantation, the GSRs during the two time periods of the above organ transplantations of lower graft survival were lower [3mGSRs: OR 0.26-0.92, 95%CI (0.20, 0.35)-(0.61,1.39); 1y GSRs : OR 0.30-0.87, 95%CI (0.23,0.37)-(0.78,0.97); 3y GSRs: OR 0.39-0.77, 95%CI (0.30,0.51)-(0.61,0.98); 5y GSRs: OR 0.12-0.87, 95%CI (0.09,0.71)- (0.75,1.0)]. Conclusion The CGD had organ specificity. The grafts of DD-ECDK, PTA, PAK, In, DD-Lu, and H-Lu were identified as the organs with earlier onsets and higher incidence of CGD.
ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of synthesized physical nursing care on the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) patients. MethodWe collected 100 MGD patients between March and September 2014, and randomized them into conventional and synthesized physical nursing care groups with 50 patients in each. We evaluated the subjective symptoms, the break-up time of tear-film and the function of lacrimal gland secretion before and after treatment. We surveyed the satisfaction of these patients during the follow-up. ResultsCompared with the conventional nursing care group, the synthesized group had less clinical symptoms, longer break-up times of tear-film and better lacrimal gland secretion function. The results showed remarkable statistical significance (P<0.05). ConclusionsSynthesized nursing care has significant effect on the treatment efficacy of MGD outpatients.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the mechanism of multiple organs dysfunction (MOD) during acute obstructive cholangitis (AOC). MethodsThe reports about MOD and AOC in recent 10 years were collected and reviewed.ResultsApplicable animal models of AOC were established. During AOC, the decrease of Kupffer cells (KCs) phagocytic function and clearance function, hepatocyte mitochondrion damage, the effect of KCs on protein synthesis of hepatocytes and activation of KCs by endotoxin played an important role in the pathogenesis of MOD. ConclusionThe mechanism of pathogenesis of MOD during AOC is complicated and the changes of KCs functions is one of major factors.
Abstract: Objective To compare the multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS), the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), the acute physiology, age, and chronic health evaluation system Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ), the acute physiology, age, and chronic health evaluation system Ⅲ(APACHE Ⅲ) in evaluating risks for patients after cardiac surgery, in order to provide better treatment and prediction of prognosis after cardiac operation. Methods A prospective study was carried out on 1 935 cardiac postoperative patients, including 1 050 males and 885 females, enrolled in cardiac postoperative intensive care unitof Anzhen hospital between October 2007 and April 2008. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 86 years with the mean age of 53.96 years. The patients underwent the surgery because of various cardiac diseases including coronary heart disease, valve disease, congenital heart disease, aortic aneurysm, pericardial disease, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary embolism. We used MODS, SOFA, APACHE Ⅱ, and APACHE Ⅲ respectively to calculate the value of the first day after operation, the maximum value during the first three days, the maximum value, and the change of the value between the third day and the first day for every patient, and then we compared the calibration and discrimination of these different systems using HosmerLemeshow goodnessoffit analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Results There were 47 perioperative deaths because of circulating system failure, respiration failure, kidney failure, liver failure or nervous system diseases. The death rate was 2.43%. In discrimination analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) in ROC of the first day value after operation, the maximum value, the maximum value during the first three days, and the change of value between the third day and the first day for MODS were respectively 0.747, 0.901, 0.892, and 0.786; for SOFA were respectively 0.736, 0.891, 0.880, and 0.798; for APACHE Ⅱ were respectively 0.699, 0.848, 0,827, and 0.562; for APACHE Ⅲ were respectively 0.721, 0.872, 0.869, and 0.587. In calibration analysis, we compared the χ2 value of the first day value, the maximum value, the maximum value during the first 3 days, and the change of value between the third day and the first day of these systems. χ2 value of MODS was 4.712, 5.905, 5.384, and 13.215; χ2 value of SOFA was 8.673, 3.189, 3.111, and 14.225; χ2 value of APACHE Ⅱ was 15.688, 10.132, 8.061, and 42.253; χ2 value of APACHE Ⅲ was 13.608, 11.196, 19.310, and 47.576. AUC value of MODS and SOFA were all larger than those of APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ (Plt;0.05); AUC value of APACHE Ⅱ was smaller than that of APACHE Ⅲ (Plt;0.05). Conclusion MODS, SOFA, APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ are all applicable in evaluating risks for patients after cardiac surgery. However, MODS and SOFA are better than APACHE Ⅱ、APACHE Ⅲ in predicting mortality after cardiac surgery. In cardiac surgery, the complicated APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ systems can be replaced by MODS and SOFA systems which are simpler for use.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients with epilepsy, and provide evidence for clinical prevention and treatment.MethodsDuring the period from January 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019, 101 patients with epilepsy who were admitted to the epilepsy specialist clinic of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were included in this study. The cognitive function of the patients was evaluated by the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scale and patients were divided into cognitive impairment group and normal cognitive function group according to the MMSE. Single factor and logistic regression analysis were used to find the differences of influencing factors between the two groups.Results① There were 27 cases of cognitive dysfunction in 101 patients with epilepsy, the incidence of cognitive impairment was 26.7%; ② Univariate analysis showed that the course of disease, frequency of seizures, seizure forms, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and abnormal rate of electroencephalogram (EEG) existed significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). ③ Logistic regression showed that course of disease, frequency of seizures and AEDs multidrug therapy were independent risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in patients with epilepsy (P<0.05).ConclusionCourse of disease, frequency of seizures and AEDs multidrug therapy are independent risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in patients with epilepsy.
Objective To summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of severe primary graft dysfunction ( PGD grade 3 ) in early stage after lung transplantation. Methods From September 2002 to December 2010, there were 10 patients with severe PGD ( grade 3) in early stage after lung transplantation ( LTx) in 100 patients with end-stage lung disease underwent LTx in Wuxi People’s Hospital. In which there were 2 cases with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 4 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,1 case with lung tuberculosis, 1 case with silicosis, 2 cases with bronchiectasis. There were 7 patients with single LTx [ 3 cases with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO) support] and 3 patients with bilateral LTx ( 1 case with ECMO support) . Results The surgical procedures of these 10 patients were successful, however severe PGD occurred on 1-5 days after operation. 4 cases died of respiratory failure with negative fluid balance and mechanical ventilation support, and 2 cases recovered. 4 cases underwent ECMO support, in which 2 cases successfully weaned from ECMO and discharged from hospital, others died of multiple organ failure.Conclusions Severe PGD is one of the fatal early complication after lung transplantation. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to improve the perioperative mortality rate.
Objective To review the progress in clinical and biomechanical study on soft tissue reconstruction of adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). Methods The recent original articles of soft tissue repair and tendon transfer for AAFD were extensively reviewed. Results The soft tissue procedures for AAFD can be divided into two components: static restoration of medial column stability and dynamic reconstruction of the posterior tibial tendon. The most important static structure to be repaired for AAFD is the spring ligament. On the other hand, various methods can be used for dynamic reconstruction. The flexor digitorum longus transfer is widely used, but results of biomechanical studies do not support the advantage of this method. For patients having normal function of the posterior tibial muscle, the Cobb procedure may be more suitable. Conclusion The soft tissue reconstruction procedures of AAFD should be chosen individually based on the stage and type of the deformity.
